Well, I haven't played the games that feature them, apparently, because it's not something that I recognize as a common trope. I assume they're explained away by condensation in the atmosphere being the source of the water or whatnot, but the few times I've seen them in fiction they bother me inordinately for whatever reason.
And I was kinda predisposed to hating Avatar before I watched anyway so I think I was just looking for an excuse to stop watching, heh.

The idea is that Nanami is an incredibly naive and innocent girl despite her cruelty (or maybe that's the reason she acts so petty). She is going through an act that she assumes everyone else has already experienced (laying an egg), but she doesn't want to open herself up to others due to the shame of being a late bloomer. More than the physical act, laying an egg forces herself to view her own growth into adulthood.
On the other hand, the notion of "laying eggs as a metaphor for ovulation" also brings some really nasty propositions when we consider Saionji wanted to cook the little thing.

It certainly is. I prefer the novel over the anime because I tend to prefer the original series compared to the adaptions, but the anime did have its moments that the novel did not touch on. Have nothing to say about the manga though.

Skypiea doesn't bother you?
I see that and raise you.
Our hero also having turrets.
You know it's much easier to not takes this seriously when you see it in gif form. Ogami saying evil over and over is pretty hilarious.

Maybe this is something that kayos could answer but unfortunately we'll never know now.
It did at first, but the "cloud ocean" concept was just coherent enough for me to deal with it.
Because
The novel just goes so much farther into the psyche of Satou and the others, and this more in-depth look has me laughing at the realism and black humor. Really really enjoying it so far.

Someone needs to make that into a banned gif stat.

I hope to read this again soon, after I can finish the Strawberry Panic novel. I definitely had to reread countless sections over again to make since of Satou's thoughts in certain places.
Other than the brilliant story, I was hoping to have more artwork showing off the other characters since Yoshitoshi ABe was the illustrator of the cover.

Okay, I'm... not sure you realize just how pathetic a noob I am but... what does this mean? Does it mean the end song during the credits is better than the title sequence theme?

So Shizuka says she likes it better when Haru smiles, so what happens when he does?
Insta-harem.
Are these shoujo writers even trying anymore? LOL
And a character from the beginning of episode 1 makes a small appearance.
Well Haru does some white knighting on her behalf which according to my shoujo senses
Which wouldn't be a problem except someone did a dick move and she's voiced by Kana Hanazawa, meaning

I dunno, I feel like the natural triangle is between the girl and the two brothers.

Wait seriously? Fuck, I wonder if my love for Hanazawa will prevail over my hatred for glasses girls
You have to admit, they look like rubber. Look how round her left thigh and leg are!
Worry not, friend, for I was just like you once upon a time. Uneducated to the vernacular of anime. In time, you will come to recognize all the varied categories of -dere, the difference between ahoge and ahegao, the joyous wonders of NTR and so on and so forth.
the fuck?

Code:breaker 3
Must be like the last one watching it. Anyway, I guess in order of abilities, Id so far have Toki>Ogami> Hitomi > Yuki. Mainly, I like the way Toki, Ogami, and Hitomi use theirs while Yuuki's was odd. It reminded me of Bleach, because he did it like a Cero.
Plotwise, Sakurakouji was starting to get infuriatingly annoying. Its like she cant catch any hint at all and needs to be awakened to the real world or something. It was painfully hilarious. However I disliked a certain part.
Preview made next episode look exciting

When after everyone had burned and stuff, she went and hugged Ogami and then was asking him did she feel. I feel as if the story is going to go in a direct to add in some type of odd one sided romance which will feel so awkward and out of place, and make me feel like Ogami will be OoC if he does engage in that :/ Sure it could be it makes him more human or something...but I think he already is enough he bonded to a dog afterall and treats nice people nicely.

A true Ogami v Toki, but then friendship/teamwork.

idk, from that gif a few posts up, it does seem like you are on fire, or not.
pretty black and white.
Who knows there could be two triangles going on at the same time, or at the very least, I could see Haru's brother pretending (initially) to go after Shizuku to get Haru's attention.
But white knighted girl got white knighted damnit.
By sacrificing Kayos90.

The pacing is really one of my favorite things about this show. It's clippy enough that one does not lose interest, but not a constant speed. Instead it's variable, so the viewer never really has a chance to get lost nor lose interest.
And this show did the "male character with dark past that heroine must come to terms with" event episode so much better than Sukitte.

What dark past? lol
(In either show, really. Sukitte's good stuff is all in the two other girls anyhow).
Good to see Nami continuing to stay at the top of bikini fashion.
